Society
We saw that the family is the basic unit or building block of human
organisation
The society is the next larger order
Society is composed of many families living together making collective
effort for a common goal
We will explore:
1. Goal of human being living in society (human goal)
2. The dimensions or systems required to achieve the human goal
3. Scope of the systems
4
What is Desirable and Where are we today?
Families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment
(common goal)
Society
People living together, but not in relationship of mutual fulfillment
(differing goals)
Crowd
People living separately, in opposition / struggle
(conflicting goals)
Battlefield
We will explore harmony in society – The base of harmony in society is harmony in family for which the base is harmony in human being

Sum Up
A society is composed of families living together, in a relationship of mutual fulfillment. They have a common goal, which is:
1. Right understanding & right feeling (happiness) in every individual
2. Prosperity in every family
3. Fearlessness (Trust) in society
4. Co-existence in nature/existence
The family is the basic unit in society, i.e. society is composed of family, group of families, village family, group of village families, town family… and so on, where every individual is responsible or self-disciplined and self motivated by common values, participating in the larger order toward a common human goal
Through the participation of every family in the society, in the 5 dimensions or social systems, the common human goal is fulfilled for all
– from family order to world family order
– generation after generation
[the current civilization is largely based on the assumption that human being = body, happiness is derived primarily from sensual pleasure & feeling from other; and hence accumulation of physical facility, domination and exploitation is at the core of the socio-economic systems]

Questions?
48
Why “More than Required Physical Facility”
If my family is prosperous, then:
1. We identify the required physical facility for the family (including the
required quantity) – with right understanding
2. We produce more than the required physical facility using cyclically
enriching process – with right skills
3. We consume as much as is required (for nurturing, protection & right
utilisation of the body), and not more – with a feeling of sanyam
4. We share the rest for mutual fulfillment in relationship & for order in
society – with a sense of responsibility in relationship
50
Which type of Economics can be called Developmental Economics
Take-Take Economics (dominate/exploit HB, exploit rest of nature)
Feeling: opposition
Result: both try to maximise their share (profit maximisation)
Needs are undefined / unlimited + resources are limited → Everyone is bound to be deprived
Give-Take Economics
Feeling: indifferent or opposition
Give-Give Economics (both work for mutual enrichment)
Feeling: Relationship
1. Identify the needs → Needs are definite
2. Produce more than what is required
by cyclic, mutually enriching process
(more is for sharing in relationship) → Resources are more than what is required
Everyone (all) can be prosperous
